I thought I would share one of my favourite little tricks for jazzing up a plain cup of brewed coffee. A little spice can go a long way.I always have a hard time stirring powdered spices into a cup of coffee, though I love the flavours. So if you want to spice up your coffee and hate working with ground spices, try adding them before you brew your coffee.If you are using a regular drip coffee maker, add a 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon to the coffee grounds before starting the brew cycle. Or even add 5 or 6 whole cloves. Or both. Whatever spices you like in your coffee can be added this way, leaving you with flavourful coffee without all the messing stirring.An added bonus is that the aroma from your spicy additions will fill the house as your coffee is brewing.

Japanese company Sangaria has been marketing non-alcoholic beverages to kids for years - as beers, wines, and cocktails in a variety of flavors and packages.Sangaria's kodomo no nomimono is just one line of Japanese non-alcoholic beers - wine and sake are also available - marketed directly at children. It sounds unbelievable but I understand it is part of Japanese culture.

Do you remember Sit and Spin?

Description: I would sit on this thing and twist around for hours. Back when it was still made of the hard plastic, I think I had to finally give it up when I was about sixteen because I couldn't fit my legs under the steering wheel anymore!

Yesterday my parents were writing an essay about the weather in the coming decades. They were quite shocked by the subject, so they tells my friend Cathy about it, and she began yelling:

"Get out!.. Dude! I am so sick of hearing about the coming decades all the time!"

But then when my parents got to the part about the the weather, Cathy subsided and began sobbing. Then just now, Cathy's brother told me that the reason Cathy was so freaked out was because she has a fear of the weather from childhood. Occasionally Cathy can be a little dumb like that, but I have to live with that...

Little Tony was staying with his grandmother for a few days.

. He'd been playing outside with the other kids for a while when he came into the house and asked her, "Grandma, what's that called when 2 people sleep in the same room and one is on top of the other?"

She was a little taken, but she decided to just tell him the truth. "It's called sexual intercourse, darling". Little Tony just said, "Oh, OK," and went back outside to play with the other kids.

A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, "Grandma, it isn't called sexual intercourse. It's called "Bunk Beds". And Jimmy's mom wants to talk to you."

I am an Aries. (Also known as "Ram") My Horroscope starts like this:" Aggressive to the extreme, the Aries is primitive - warlike and cruel. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, he often has trouble remembering the simplest of things.
